TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a technology of surface treatment.

BACKGROUND ART

Man has manufactured various types of products using different substances (materials). The materials are classified to metal materials, ceramic materials, high polymerized materials, and composite materials made of combinations of the aforementioned materials. Each of the materials has a unique property. The property shows characteristics of the products. It is possible to form metals and ceramics solely into products. However, alloys and multi-element ceramics are made in a manner that more than two kinds of elements are dissolved to be mixed. The high polymerized materials are composed of (synthesized with) elements such as C, H, O, N, X (halogen), P, and S, as required. There are tons of elements which can be used for producing the high polymerized materials.

An attribute of the material is shown by a sum of a bulk attribute and a surface attribute. The bulk attribute is almost determined according to a kind and/or a composition of the material. The surface attribute is not always the same even when the kind and/or the composition of elements are the same. The surface attribute changes according to time as well as an external field environment based on a law of Gibbs' free energy (ΔG=ΔH−TΔS, ΔH: enthalpy change, T: absolute temperature, ΔS: entropy change). If the external field environment includes, for example, oxygen, humidity, and ultraviolet rays, the surface of the material chemically changes to be another substance (i.e., to have another attribute) from moment to moment.

The change of the surface of the material in the natural world puts a hard obstacle to the improvement of manufacturing of products using surface functions thereof. The obstacle varies according to the kinds of the surface functions. However, it is at least apparent that a surface property of a product differs between yesterday and today. A material dependency derives from a surface nature which the material has as its unique attribute. Today, this is unavoidable. However, if construction of a concept of identification of the changes at a certain point of time realizes a material independency, it becomes possible to improve the manufacturing of products based on the concept. This will bring us a bright future in this twenty-first century.

The identification of the surfaces of the materials is achieved according to the following steps. For example, if it becomes possible to make films (thin films) having the same chemical composition and surface property at any time for any material, the identification of the surfaces of the materials will be achieved by a surface treatment method capable of providing such films (thin films). The inventor of the present invention names such agent an identical surface making-functionalizing agent. We sometimes call the identical surface making-functionalizing agent simply as a surface treatment agent. When the identical surface making-functionalizing agent for identifying the surfaces of the materials is brought into contact with the materials (e.g., metal materials, ceramic materials, high polymerized materials, organic solids, and other composite materials), the identical surface making-functionalizing agent tightly adheres to the surfaces of the materials or chemically bonds to (reacts with) the surfaces of the materials. As a result, the materials come to have the same properties on their surfaces independent from the kinds of their materials. In other words, differences of the surface properties are minimized as much as possible between materials. An agent producing the above described effect is the identical surface making-functionalizing agent.

The identical surface making-functionalizing agent has a function of tightly adhering (or bonding) to the surface of the material and thereby forming a film (thin film) thereon. The identical surface making-functionalizing agent tightly adhered (or bonded) to the surface of the material comes to have a function of reacting with other functional groups. The identical surface making-functionalizing agent has a function of effectively working on many kinds of materials. In sum, the identical surface making-functionalizing agent is rich in diversity. We call the agent having such property, specifically, as the identical surface making-functionalizing agent.

Some of the conventional surface treatment agents have a function of, for example, adhering to a surface of a material. However, such conventional surface treatment agents are sometimes poor in reaction. Or, such conventional surface treatment agents sometimes lack diversity. For example, such conventional surface treatments are applicable to a material A but are not applicable to a material B. In other words, such conventional surface treatments are only applicable to materials of a limited range (lacks diversity).

When the compound α containing the primary amino group and the alkoxysilyl group in a monomolecular thereof contacts a material selected from the group consisting of metal materials, ceramic materials, and high polymerized materials, the compound α is tightly bonded to a surface of the selected material by the chemical bonding (or tight absorption) caused by reaction between these materials and the compound α. For example, a case where the compound α is not vaporized while it is left for a long time under super high vacuum, for example, beyond 10⁻⁶ Pa, is hereinafter referred to as tight adherence (absorption). Of course, no vaporization occurs even while the compound α is chemically bonding (reacting). Such situation can be analyzed by an XPS. The compound containing both of the primary amino group and the alkoxysilyl group in a monomolecular thereof is available in market in the name of the silane coupling agent. However, the conventional silane coupling agent does not stick to (react with) any one of the metal materials, the ceramic materials, and the high polymerized materials. For example, as the kinds of the materials change, the kinds of the silane coupling agents and treatment conditions change. Specifically, in a case of materials (e.g., high polymerized materials) which has little —OH on its surface, the tight adherence and the chemical bonding hardly occur. In other words, a silane coupling agent that is rich enough in diversity and thus is solely useful for many cases has not been developed yet. In sum, a silane coupling agent having features defined in the present invention is not developed yet. In this point, the compound α of the present invention totally differs from the conventional silane coupling agent. Preferable compound α is the compound represented by the General Formula [I]. More preferable compound α is the compound represented by the General Formula [II] or [III]. For example, further preferable compound α is the compound represented by the General Formula [IV] or [V]. Preferably, —NH₂ and —N₃ (azide group) are not directly bonded to the triazine ring. Preferably, the amino group positioned at terminal is a primary amino group. Specifically, examples of the compound α include N,N′-bis(2-aminoethyl)-6-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)amino-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine; 6-(3-triethoxy silylpropyl)amino-2,4-dihydrazinyl-1,3,5-triazine; 2-(N,N′-di-3-triethoxy silylpropyl)amino-4,6-di(2-aminoethyl)amino-1,3,5-triazine; 2-(2-aminoethyl)amino-4,6-di(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)amino-1,3,5-triazine; 6-(2-aminoethyl)amino-2,4-bis(methylethylketoxyminosilyl)propylamino-1,3,5-triazine; 6-(2-aminoethyl)amino-2,4-di(triisopropoxysilyl)propylamino-1,3,5-triazine; 6-(2-aminoethyl)amino-2,4-di(triacetoxysilyl)propylamino-1,3,5-triazine; 6-(2-aminoethyl)amino-2,4-di(triisopropenoxysilyl)propylamino-1,3,5-triazine; 6-(2-aminoethyl)amino-2,4-di(triisopropoxysilyl)propylamino-1,3,5-triazine; 6-(2-aminoethyl)amino-2,4-di(tribenzoxysilyl)propylamino-1,3,5-triazine; 6-(2-aminoethyl)amino-2,4-bis(triethoxysilylhexyl)amino-1,3,5-triazine; 6-(2-aminoethyl)amino-2,4-bis(triethoxysilyldodecyl)amino-1,3,5-triazine; 2,4-di(2-aminoethyl)amino-6-bis(methylethylketoxyminosilyl)propylamino-1,3,5-triazine; 2,4-di(2-aminoethyl)amino-6-bis(methylethylketoxyminosilyl)propylamino-1,3,5-triazine; 2,4-di(2-aminoethyl)amino-6-di(triisopropoxysilyl)propylamino-1,3,5-triazine; 2,4-di(2-aminoethyl)amino-6-di(triacetoxysilyl)propylamino-1,3,5-triazine; 2,4-di(2-aminoethyl)amino-6-di(triisopropenoxysilyl)propylamino-1,3,5-triazine; 2,4-di(2-aminoethyl)amino-6-di(triisopropoxysilyl)propylamino-1,3,5-triazine; 2,4-di(2-aminoethyl)amino-6-di(tribenzoxysilyl)propylamino-1,3,5-triazine; 2,4-di(2-aminoethyl)amino-6-bis(triethoxysilylhexylamino)-1,3,5-triazine; 2,4-di(2-aminoethyl)amino-6-bis(triethoxysilylpropyl)amino-1,3,5-triazine; N,N′-bis(2-dimethylaminoethyl)-6-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)amino-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine; N,N′-bis(2-aminohexyl)-6-(3 -triethoxysilylpropyl)amino-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine; N,N′-bis{2-[bis-(2-aminoethyl)amino-]ethyl}-6-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)amino-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine; and N,N′-bis(12-aminododecyl)-6-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)amino-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine.

A third invention is directed to a surface treatment method. More specifically, the surface treatment method according to the third invention is a treatment method that uses the compound α. The surface treatment is performed for the purpose of bonding by, for example, the compound α. The surface treatment is performed for the purpose of achieving chemical reaction or physical absorption by, for example, the compound α. The third invention is a method for coating the substrate with, for example, a solution containing the compound α. Examples of the coating method include an immersing method, a spraying method, and a brush coating method. As a matter of course, the coating method is not limited to these examples. An evaporation method may be employed instead of the coating method. According to the method of the third invention, for example, the compound α is evaporated to be sticked to (deposited on) the substrate. Of course, the coating method is simpler than the evaporation method. Also, the coating method is more cost saving than the evaporation method. Preferably, before being coated with the compound α, the substrate is subjected to one or more treatments selected from the following group. Examples of the treatment include cleaning treatment, corona discharge treatment, plasma discharge treatment, ultraviolent ray irradiation, acid treatment, alkaline treatment, steam treatment, and chemical conversion coating. After being coated with the compound α, the substrate is subjected to heating treatment, as required. For example, hydroxides of Group I Element, salts of Group I Element, hydroxides of Group II element, salts of Group II Element, ammonia, ammonium salts, hydrazine, hydrazine derivatives, amines, phosphoric acids, phosphates, carbonates, carboxylic acids, carboxylates, silicic acids, silicates, and fluorides are employed for the chemical conversion coating. For example, a film is formed on a surface of a metal according to the chemical conversion coating.

Treatment of the substrates made of various materials with the compound α (e.g., coating of the surfaces of the substrates with the compound α) ensures obtainment of materials having the identical surface function. As a matter of course, the substrates have different physical properties in bulks, but basically have the identical physical properties in surfaces. Expected surface physical properties of these materials are metal catalyst absorptivity, chemical and physical compound reactivity, metalizing properties, heat resisting properties, corrosion resistance, oxidation resistant properties, UV stability, hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity, soldering adherability, bondability, electroconductivity, colorability, stainability, printability, and transcription ability. Further, when the treatment is performed onto the surfaces of the materials with functional groups such as various sorts of functional compounds and functional group-containing compounds (silane coupling agents) and functionality imparting agents, the materials are capable of obtaining the surfaces having heterologous functionality and containing functional groups. The heterologous functionality is capable of imparting catalytic properties, chemical and physical reactivity, metalizing properties, heat resisting properties, corrosion resistance, oxidation resistant properties, UV stability impartment, hydrophobicity, water repellency, lipophilicity and hydrophilicity, soldering adherability, bondability, stickiness, electric insulation, electroconductivity, antifouling properties, antibacterial activity, surface smoothness and roughness, wear and abrasion resistance, colorability, stainability, printability, transcription ability, decorating properties, biocompatibility, and luminescence and light-selective absorptivity.

In work and assembly in the manufacturing work, the surface properties become more influential. The number of factors demanded in the manufacturing work, e.g., kinds and amounts of parts, number of work processes and work time, and assembly processes and assembly time, becomes larger, resulting in causing the manufacturing work to face to difficulties. It is considered that one of the factors posing the difficulties is a difference in surface properties between parts, i.e., wide variation of surface properties of the parts. To cope with the difficulties, many surface treatment technologies are developed for many kinds of materials. The surface treatment technologies are important to the manufacturing work. However, competition becomes harder due to the change of time. It is impossible for the conventional catch-up technology to catch up with this change of time. It becomes more difficult for the countries having improved technologies to win in the competition. In order to breakthrough the present situation, it becomes material to develop innovative technologies having a concept different from the conventional catch-up technology. Departing from the material dependency of the conventional surface treatment technology, if it is possible to provide an identical surface condition to many materials with the use of the same treatment agent by the same method, the above described problem will be solved significantly. A surface treatment agent (identical surface making-functionalizing agent) capable of imparting such material independency should have three functions such as an “adherence function”, a “reactivity function”, and a “diversity function” with respect to many kinds of materials such as the metal materials, the ceramic materials, and the high polymerized materials.

An identical surface making-functionalizing film obtained by the identical surface making-functionalizing agent has a constant adhesion strength (shows a cohesive failure) for every kind of material. What is important for the agent is absence of the interfacial debonding with respect to many kinds of materials in a debonding test. In other words, it is material for the agent to show the sufficient adhesion strength and cohesive failure even between the different materials. Further, a reactivity function of the identical surface making-functionalizing agent is utilized for causing the surface to have various different functions. Therefore, the agent needs to take a role of triggering chemical reaction throughout (or to a portion of) the film to cause the portion to have a different function. It is material that the surface of the material to which such function was imparted comes to have a diversity function, i.e., comes to take various roles. It is further important that such diversity function is to be imparted to the surface of the material by a simple method. If a special method is required to realize the above impartment of the function, practical realization thereof will be difficult.

The physical properties of all the materials are shown by the sum of bulk attributes and surface attributes. People engaged in the manufacturing work needs to know these attributes deeply. For example, the surface properties of the materials include many factors such as wettability, stickiness, water repellency, hydrophilicity, adhesive property, absorptivity, smoothness, water-holding property, electrification characteristic, reactivity, and hardness. Understanding of the above factors demands great time and efforts. To avoid these troublesome in the manufacturing work and to realize the smooth manufacturing work, it is important to impart the same condition to the surfaces of the materials. In other words, realization of impartment of the same condition to the surfaces will be convenient for the manufacturing work, i.e., will save time to understand the above described various factors, as well as will be practical. In order to speed up the manufacturing work, homogenization (identification) of the surfaces of the materials is essential. However, a method for homogenizing the surface conditions of many different kinds of materials (the metals, the ceramics, and the organic materials) to a level equal to or more than about 90% is not known yet.

The inventors studied based on this point of view and found that, when the compound α is brought into contact with a surface of a substrate, the compound α reacts with (or tightly adheres to) a material of the substrate. As a result, the surface of the material comes to have, for example, a hydroxylsilyl group (or an alkoxysilyl group) and/or an amino group, and thus characteristics of the substrate is largely modified. Whether or not a surface functionalizing agent (the compound α) reacts with the substrate to be bonded thereto via chemical bonding or whether or not the surface functionalizing agent adheres to the substrate via tight absorptive power becomes apparent from a result of detection, in the XPS analysis, of N and Si as unique elements of the surface functionalizing agent (the compound α). If the surface functionalizing agent (the compound α) is brought into contact with another compound that reacts with (or adsorbs to) the hydroxylsilyl group and/or the amino group, the surface of the substrate is modified to have another function. As described above, it is possible to modify the surface of the substrate to any intended functional surface or useful surface. Thus obtained surface functionalizing material comes to be used in various ways, for example, as an amphipathic material having a reversibly conversed property between hydrophilic property and hydrophobic property, a material for metalizing an organic functional material as a whole or in part, a material for bonding, for example, between organic functional materials and metal materials and between ceramic materials and organic materials by fluid/nonfluid, a material for electroless plating and electroplating of functionalizing metal materials, and a material for protection against corrosion and antioxidation of the surfaces of functionalizing metal materials.

In some cases, the substrate coated with the compound α is considered as a final product. However, in many cases, the substrate coated with the compound α is also considered as an intermediate material to the next step.

Contact between the compound α and the functional group and/or the functional-imparting agent triggers reaction therebetween. As a result of the reaction, a dissimilar functional group-containing material and a heterologous functional surface-containing material can be obtained. Such materials become products owing to the functions of their own or become useful as composite products by bonding, lamination, and assembly of the same kinds of materials and/or different kinds of materials. There are some cases where plating is provided to the materials.

Hereinafter, a detailed description thereof will be given.

[Surface Treatment Agent]The surface treatment agent of the present invention has an “adherence function”, a “reactivity function”, and a “diversity function”.

More specifically, the surface treatment agent of the present invention is the above described compound α or a compound containing the compound α.

More preferably, the compound α is represented by the General Formula [I]. Further preferably, the compound α is represented by, for example, the General Formula [II] or the General Formula [III]. For example, the compound α is represented by the General Formula [IV] or the General Formula [V]. Examples of the compound α include N,N′-bis(2-aminoethyl)-6-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)amino-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine; 6-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)amino-2,4-dihydrazinyl-1,3,5-triazine; 2-(N,N′-di-3-triethoxysilylpropyl)amino-4,6-di(2-aminoethyl)amino-1,3,5-triazine; 2-(2-aminoethyl)amino-4,6-di(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)amino-1,3,5-triazine; 6-(2-aminoethyl)amino-2,4-bis(methylethylketoxyminosilyl)propylamino-1,3,5-triazine; 6-(2-aminoethyl)amino-2,4-di(triisopropoxysilyl)propylamino-1,3,5-triazine; 6-(2-aminoethyl)amino-2,4-di(triacetoxysilyl)propylamino-1,3,5-triazine; 6-(2-aminoethyl)amino-2,4-di(triisopropenoxysilyl)propylamino-1,3,5-triazine; 6-(2-aminoethyl)amino-2,4-di(triisopropoxysilyl)propylamino-1,3,5-triazine; 6-(2-aminoethyl)amino-2,4-di(tribenzoxysilyl)propylamino-1,3,5-triazine; 6-(2-aminoethyl)amino-2,4-bis(triethoxysilylhexyl)amino-1,3,5-triazine; 6-(2-aminoethyl)amino-2,4-bis(triethoxysilyldodecyl)amino-1,3,5-triazine; 2,4-di(2-aminoethyl)amino-6-bis(methylethylketoxyminosilyl)propylamino-1,3,5-triazine; 2,4-di(2-aminoethyl)amino-6-bis(methylethylketoxyminosilyl)propylamino-1,3,5-triazine; 2,4-di(2-aminoethyl)amino-6-di(triisopropoxysilyl)propylamino-1,3,5-triazine; 2,4-di(2-aminoethyl)amino-6-di(triacetoxysilyl)propylamino-1,3,5-triazine; 2,4-di(2-aminoethyl)amino-6-di(triisopropenoxysilyl)propylamino-1,3,5-triazine; 2,4-di(2-aminoethyl)amino-6-di(triisopropoxysilyl)propylamino-1,3,5-triazine; 2,4-di(2-aminoethyl)amino-6-di(tribenzoxysilyl)propylamino-1,3,5-triazine; 2,4-di(2-aminoethyl)amino-6-bis(triethoxysilylhexylamino)-1,3,5-triazine; 2,4-di(2-aminoethyl)amino-6-bis(triethoxysilylpropyl)amino-1,3,5-triazine; N,N′-bis(2-dimethylaminoethyl)-6-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)amino-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine; N,N′-bis(2-aminohexyl)-6-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)amino-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine; N,N′-bis{2-[bis-(2-aminoethyl)amino-]ethyl}-6-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)amino-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine; and N,N′-bis(12-aminododecyl)-6-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)amino-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine.

The compound is synthesized from, for example, [Reaction Formula 1] or [Reaction Formula 2]

The solvent to be used in the reaction is essentially required not to react with the amino group, the alkoxysilyl group, and the functional group contained in the alkoxysilyl group. A solvent that satisfies the above condition differs according to a combination of the amino group and the functional group containing-alkoxysilyl group. Therefore, it is difficult to uniquely decide the solvent. However, just for the reference sake, listed as examples of the solvent are water, alcohols (e.g., methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, cellosolve, and carbitol), ketones (e.g., acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, and cyclohexanone), aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g., benzene, toluene, and xylene), aliphatic hydrocarbons (e.g., hexane, octane, decane, dodecane, and octadecane), esters (e.g., ethyl acetate, methyl propionate, and methyl phthalate), ethers (e.g., tetrahydrofuran, ethyl butyl ether, and anisole), and mixtures thereof.

In the reaction, a reaction temperature is governed by activity between the triazine compound as the skeletal formula and the amino group (e.g., primary diamine or primary triamine) and the functional group of the alkoxysilyl group-containing compound. Therefore, the reaction temperature is not uniquely decided. However, for the sake of information, the reaction temperature is within about a range between −20° C. and 200° C. Preferably, the reaction temperature is within a range between −10° C. and 100° C. The solvent reacts slowly at a temperature lower than −20° C., resulting in lowering the productivity. The temperature higher than 200° C. necessitates additional equipment such as an autoclave in many cases. Also, the solvent reacts excessively quickly at a temperature higher than 200° C. As a result, a secondary product tends to be generated. Accordingly, a preferable temperature is what exemplified above.

What is important is that a ratio (molar ratio) of an amino compound (a primary diamine and a primary triamine) to one carbon element of the triazine compound as the skeletal formula (the former/the latter) is equal to or more than 1. Generally, the ratio is a value within a range between 2 and 10. If the ratio is less than 1, there are a case that a target product is hardly obtained and a case that a raw material is left. If the ratio becomes larger, e.g., beyond 10, generation of impurities decreases; however, removal of unreacted amine takes time. This invites lowering of production efficiency. Next, what is important is that a ratio (molar ratio) of the alkoxysilyl group-containing compound to one carbon element of the triazine compound as the skeletal formula (the former/the latter) is also equal to or more than 1. Generally, the ratio is a value within a range between 1.05 and 1.50. If the ratio is less than 1, unreacted material is left. This invites lowering of a yield of amount. If the ratio becomes beyond 1.50, generation of impurities increases. This invites lowering of production efficiency.

Even in a case where the compound α is a mixture of two or more different materials, the treatment is effective. Therefore, the reaction product can be used as it is without necessity of isolation to a single compound. Here, the mainly obtainable compound is a monomer represented by the compound α. In addition thereto, byproducts are obtainable in the course of the chemical compounding process, i.e., a condensation product constituted of a dimer resulting from reaction between a triazine having an amino group at its terminal and a triazine having an unreacted carbon atom, oligomer, and an alkoxysilyl group and/or a mixture thereof are obtainable.

Thus obtained compound α (the compound represented by General Formula [I]) is provided on the substrate by a coating means. For example, in a case where the compound α (the compound represented by General Formula [I]) is not liquid, the compound α is added into the solvent. Then, the substrate is immersed into the solvent to be coated with the compound α. Spraying of the solution also ensures coating of the compound α on the substrate. The spin coat method is also employable. The brush coating method is also employable. Various coating methods are employable in addition to the above described methods. In addition to the coating methods, a method in which the compound α is evaporated to be deposited onto the substrate is also employable. In any way, it is possible to carry out the coating method simply and easily. Further, the compound α tightly adheres to the substrate even via the coating method. Alternatively, the compound α is bonded to the substrate via the chemical reaction. That is, only contact of the compound α with the substrate establishes tight adherence therebetween. Therefore, an effect of the identical surface making-function is produced.

An average film thickness of the compound α is within about a range between 1 nm and 20 nm. In a case where the compound α is chemically bonded to the substrate, the film thickness of the compound α becomes thinner than the above range. In a case where a strong adhesive force is obtained by a method other than the chemical bonding, the film thickness of the compound α becomes relatively thick. The relatively thick means only a level thicker than the thickness in the case of the chemical bonding. In a case where the compound α is boned to the surface of the substrate via the chemical reaction, an average film thickness is within about a range between 1 and 5 nm. In a case where the compound α is bonded to the substrate by a strong absorption force, the average film thickness becomes thicker than the above described thickness (about a range between 1 and 5 nm). The strong adhesive force is generated in a case where vaporization of the compound α does not occur even when the compound α is left for a long time under super high vacuum condition of a level of 10⁻⁶ Pa. Under such condition, an XPS analysis is employable. Meanwhile, the above mentioned adhesion strength is a level at which a silicone rubber phase is broken out at a time when the silicon rubber is bonded to the surface of the substrate. It is said that such power corresponds to the power of the chemical bonding. Such adhesive force is a force of a level inconsiderably stronger than an adhesive force between molecules.

The solvent employed in coating may be identical to the solvent to be employed in the reaction. More specifically, the solvent may be water, alcohol, ketone, aromatic hydrocarbons, aliphatic hydrocarbons, esters, ethers, and mixtures thereof. A concentration of the compound α is within about a range between 0.001 wt % and 10 wt %. With the concentration less than 0.001 wt %, i.e., when the concentration is too weak, only a poor effect is produced. With the concentration exceeding 10 wt %, i.e., when the concentration is too strong, complicated post-treatment is required. A temperature during the coating treatment is about a range between −20° C. and 200° C. A time required for the coating treatment is about a range between 0.1 sec. and 12 hrs. The concentration of the compound α, the treatment temperature, and the treatment time relate to one another. An optimum solution thereof can be obtained via repetition of tests.

After the compound α is provided on the substrate via the coating method or the evaporation (deposition) method, the post-treatment substrate is left at a temperature within a range between −20° C. (preferably, equal to or greater than 15° C.) and 200° C. under vacuum atmosphere, under ordinary atmosphere, or under pressure. The leaving time is 0.1 sec. to 12 hrs. This is considered as fixing treatment for causing the compound α to be fixed onto the substrate.

When the film of the compound α chemically reacts, the film of the compound α comes to contain the acid amide group (—CONH—), the amino group (NH₂—, —NH—), the alkoxysilyl group (—SiOR), and/or the hydroxysilyl group (—SiOH). When the film of the compound α is generated to be tightly adhered to the substrate, the compound α comes to contain the amino group (NH₂—, —NH—), the alkoxysilyl group (—SiOR), and/or the hydroxysilyl group (—SiOH). In the water or in the solution, the alkoxysilyl group is hydrolyzed to be modified to a hydroxysilyl group. The alkoxysilyl group is hydrolyzed in moisture to be modified to the hydroxysilyl group. A hydrogen bonding (H . . . N . . . .H) and/or a salt linkage (>NH₂ ⁻ . . . ⁺OSi<) are formed between the amino group (NH₂—, —NH—), a localized electron nitrogen of the triazine ring, and the hydroxysilyl group. It is considered that this causes the surfaces of the substrates to be substantially the same. In other words, the film of the compound α facilitates the identical surface making-functionalizing function.

The film of the compound α is tightly bonded to many kinds of materials (e.g., resin materials such as an olefin resin, a nylon resin, and a polyvinyl alcohol; ceramic materials such as a glass and almina; and metal materials such as Cu and Al). The bonding force is unconsiderably stronger than the primary bond and the secondary bond. On the assumption of an atomic state of a nitrogen atom in the XPS analysis, flowing of electrons into the nitrogen atom was confirmed. It is considered that a state of excess of electrons of the nitrogen atom induces the London dispersion force to cause the compound α to tightly adhere to the olefin resin. It is considered that the characteristics of the identical surface making-functionalizing film results from the stabilization caused by interactions between sides of the film and a bottom of the film. In general materials, a film is formed with a balanced intermolecular force in every direction. However, in the identical surface making-functionalizing film, the bonding force in a lateral direction is stronger than the bonding force in a vertical direction.

The film of the compound α that is bonded to the surface of the substrate by reaction or absorption contains the amino group, the alkoxysilyl group, and/or the hydroxysilyl group in its surface. This means that the surface of the film of the compound α contains the reactivity functional group. The reactivity functional group is used to impart the more reactivity and functionality.

[Function-Imparting Agent and Reactivity-Imparting Agent]

The surface of the film made of the compound α contains the amino group, the alkoxysilyl group, and/or the hydroxysilyl group therein. These functional groups have the reactivity. Therefore, the compound α is capable of reacting with various types of substances (reagents). For example, the reaction occurs among a homogeneousness functional reagent, a heterogeneous functional reagent, and a nanoparticle dispersion reagent. The surface treatment by the substance (reagent) modifies the surface to a material having a large variety of functions.

The polymer having the three-dimensional net structure (e.g., heat-curable resin and crosslinked rubber) is obtainable in a manner that the crosslinking agents, the crosslinking accelerators, and/or the crosslinking assistants, each 0.1 to 20 parts by weight (preferably, 0.5 to 10 parts by weight), are added, for example, to the two-dimensional linear structural polymer (or low molecular monomer) of 100 parts by weight, and the resulting compound is subjected to a roll sheeting work, a calendar rolling work, a pressing work, an extruding work, or an injection molding work under conditions of a temperature of 20 to 350° C. for 0.1 second to 200 minutes. The polymer having the two-dimensional linear structure (e.g., thermoplastic resin and un-crosslinked rubber) is obtainable by a publicly known method. The photo-curing resin is obtainable by irradiating ultraviolet rays of a range between 200 and 400 nm to a composite constituting the photo-curing resin by using a UV device (e.g., high-pressure mercury UV lamps, low-pressure mercury UV lamps, fluorescence type UV lamps (short ARC xenon lamps and chemical lamps), and metal halide lamps) at a rate of 10 mJ/m²˜20 kJ/m² in the air, in a nitrogen atmosphere, in an argon atmosphere, or under depressurization. The composite constituting the photo-curing resin contains, for example, the photopolymerization catalyst. An amount thereof is, for example, a range between 0.01 and 5 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the compound containing an epoxy group. In a case where a blending ratio of the photopolymerization catalyst is small, e.g., less than 0.01 parts by weight, the irradiation of light does not contribute to sufficient increase of the rate of the ring-opening reaction of the epoxy group. Blending ratio beyond 5 parts by weight does not contribute to improvement of the reaction. The vulcanized rubber is obtainable by leaving the composite containing a desired components such as a linear copolymer having a glass transition temperature equal to or less than −20° C., the crosslinking agent, and/or the crosslinking accelerator at a temperature of a range between 0 and 300° C. (preferably, a range between 60 and 180° C.) for 0.1 to 120 minutes (preferably, for 5 to 60 minutes). If the temperature is low, it takes too long for the reaction, resulting in inviting degradation of productivity. To the contrary, if the temperature is high, too much energy cost is required. Therefore, the treatment is to be performed under the above described conditions. A coating film is also exemplified as the high polymerized materials. However, the coating film is not solely used as the high polymerized material. Specifically, the coating film is used in the form of a composite material. Generally, the coating film is obtainable in a manner that the two-dimensional linear polymer (thermoplastic resin) is mixed with the crosslinking agent, the crosslinking accelerator, the crosslinking assistant, and a solvent and, subsequently, the resulting mixture is coated to be dried. The mixture is also polymerized, as required. The organic high polymerized material contains, as required, a filler and a functionality additive. The functionality additive is capable of exerting a desired function. The functionality additive can work as a reinforcer. Examples of the functionality additive include carbon black, calcium carbonate, talc, flat talc, mistron talc, clay, kaolin, flat kaolin, cellulose, celite, flat clay, kaolin, glass, barium titanate, strontium titanate, mica, and silica. Examples of the reinforcer include rayon, nylon, polyester, vinylon, steel, Kevlar, a carbon fiber, and a glass fiber. The reinforcer may be given in the form of fiber or fabric. Other examples of the reinforcer include powders of copper, nickel, silver, gold, tin, and carbon. Further, other examples of the reinforcer include the conductive materials. Still further, other examples of the reinforcer include heat transfer materials such as almina, silicon nitride, alumina nitride, silicon carbide, and diamond. An addition amount is decided according to an intended use thereof. Still further, stabilizers (e.g., antioxidants and ultraviolent ray inhibitors) are sometimes used as the reinforcer. The stabilizers contribute to enhancement of reliability of the high polymerized materials. Examples of the stabilizer include amine/ketone-based condensation products (e.g., poly(2,2,4-trimethyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline) and 6-ethoxy-1,2-dihydro-2,2,4-trimethylquinoline), secondary aromatic amine compounds (e.g., octyldiphenylamine, 4,4-bis(α,α-dimethylbenzyl)diphenylamine, N,N-diphenyl-p-phenylenediamine, N-phenyl-N′-isopropyl-p-phenylenediamine, N-phenyl-N′-isopropyl-1,3-dimethylbutyl-p-phenylenediamine), monophenol-based compound and bisphenol-based compound (e.g., styrenated phenol, 2,6-di-t-butyl-4-phenol, 2-t-butyl-6-(3-t-butyl-2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzyl)-4-methylphenylacrylate, 2,2-methylene bis(4-methyl-6-t-butylphenol), 4,4-thiobis(3-methyl-6-t-butylphenol), and 2,5-di-t-butylhydroquinone), 2-mercaptobenzimidazole, 2-Zn-mercaptobenzimidazole, nickel dimethyldithiocarbamate, 1,3-bis(dimethylaminopropyl)thiourea, dilauryl-3,3-thiodipropionate, tris(nonylated phenyl)phosphate, 2-(4-hydroxy-3,5-t-butyl)aniline-1,3,5-triazine-4,6-dithiol, 2-(4-phenylamino)aniline-1,3,5-triazine-4,6-dithiol, 2-(N-anilinophenyl)-N′-isopropylamino-1,3,5-triazine-4,6-dithiol, 4-di(N-anilinophenyl)-N′-isopropylamino)-1,3,5-triazine-6-thiol, 2,4-di(N-anilinophenyl)-N′-isopropylamino)-1,3,5-triazine-6-thiol, 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-trithiol, bis(2,4-dithiol-1,3,5-triazinyl-6-amino)benzene, and 2-triethoxysilylpropylamino-1,3,5-triazine-4,6-dithiol. Specifically, sulfur-based compound or phosphorus-based compound such as triazinethiol containing an antioxidant group is used as the stabilizer. An adding amount is decided according to an intended use thereof.

The composite material is a proper combination of the metal materials, the ceramic materials, and the high polymerized materials. For example, the composite material is formed such that a ceramic material is provided on a surface of a metal material. For example, the composite material is formed such that a high polymerized material is provided on a surface of a metal material. For example, the composite material is formed such that a metal material is provided on a surface of a ceramic material. For example, the composite material is formed such that a high polymerized material is provided on a surface of a ceramic material. In addition thereto, the composite material is formed with various combinations of materials. For example, the combination of the materials is configured by bonding of a material A and a material B. This, however, should not be construed in a limiting sense. In a case where the composite material is configured by bonding, each material is to be subjected to cleaning treatment in advance. Alternatively, each material is to be processed in advance by, for example, a silane coupling agent.

One substrate that was treated with the surface treatment agent is provided as an adhered, and the other substrate that was treated with the surface treatment agent (or that was not treated with the surface treatment agent) is provided as an adhesive. Bonding therebetween ensures obtainment of various types of composite products. Thus obtained material is immersed into (or sprayed with) electroless plating solution and, subsequently, subjected to electroplating. Accordingly, a plated product is obtained. It is also possible to form a circuit substrate in such a manner that a plated metalized product is coated with resist. Then, the resist is etched. Also, it is possible to form a hydrophobic (or hydrophilic) microchannel with ease in such a manner that a groove or a flow channel is formed on the surface of the substrate and, subsequently, the same materials are bonded together after the hydrophobic treatment (or after the hydrophilic treatment). If an additive property is imparted to the conductive composite body, the composite magnetic body, or the heat conductive composite, fluid bonding (treatment bonding or crosslink bonding) or non-fluid bonding (assembly bonding) of the metal materials, the ceramic materials, the high polymerized materials, or the composite high polymerized materials becomes possible. The present invention is effective in many industrial fields such as electronic equipment filed, a material field, an automobile field, a robot field, a building and a construction field, and an environment and energy field. Recently, multi-functionality, high performance, and downsizing are rapidly attained in digital equipment, portable/mobile equipment, high-frequency module equipment, and network devices. A SiP (System in Package) product which packages a plurality of chips such as a microcomputer, SoC, and memory in a single package, CoC products, and the like are expanding in market as a means for achieving this. Nowadays, a SiP technology for realizing higher performance and a higher functionality of equipment is demanded. To realize the high performance and the high functionality, improvement in bonding technology for bonding minute parts is essential. The present invention is also effective in such field.

Hereinafter, specific embodiments are exemplified to describe the present invention. However, the present invention should not be limited only to the following embodiments. Needless to say, the present invention may be modified to be carried out in various forms without departing from the technical concept of the present invention. Each of the embodiments and examples may be combined, as required, for carrying out the present invention.

EXAMPLE 1

6-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)amino-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-dichloride (TEDC) and N,N′-bis(2-aminoethyl)-6-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)amino-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine (TEDDA) were synthesized according to the following Reaction Formula (1-1) and

A stirring bar and cyanuric chloride (CC: 18.325 g; 99.37 mmol: produced by Kanto Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) were placed in a three neck flask having a capacity of 500 mL. A thermometer and an addition funnel were attached thereto. An inside of the flask was placed in an argon atmosphere. Then, THF (200 mL) was added thereto. The flask was cooled down to a temperature of −20° C. Subsequently, 3-triethoxysilylpropylamine (28 mL; 120 mmol: produced by Chisso Corporation)/THF (20 mL: produced by Kanto Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) solution was gradually dripped into the flask for 30 minutes. After the dripping thereof, triethylamine (17 mL; 122 mmol: produced by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.)/THF (20 mL: produced by Kanto Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) solution was gradually dripped thereinto for 30 minutes. After the dripping thereof, stirring was performed at a temperature of −20° C. for one hour. After the reaction thereof, triethylamine hydrochloride was filtered to be left as a byproduct. Then, condensation and vacuum drying were performed using a rotary evaporator. Accordingly, a crude product was obtained. The crude product was refined by a silica gel column chromatography (eluent:chloroform). Thus obtained purified product (6-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)amino-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-dichloride (31.820 g; 84.96 mmol) was pale yellow oil. The NMR data and the like were shown below.

Next, a stirring bar and ethylenediamine (11 mL; 165 mmol: produced by Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.: refined by a molecular sieve) were placed in a three neck flask having a capacity of 300 mL. An inside of the flask was placed in an argon atmosphere. A mixed solution of 6-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)amino-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-dichloride (7.821 g; 21.18 mmol) and THF (60 mL) was dripped thereinto. After the dripping thereof, the reaction solution thereof was gradually heated up to a temperature of 90° C. Then, the reaction was carried out for 17 hours, followed by cooling down to room temperature and suction filtration via celite. The filtrate was condensed by the rotary evaporator and depressurized to be dried. The condensed solution was subjected to refining by the silica gel column chromatography. Accordingly, N,N′-bis(2-aminoethyl-6-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)amino-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine (TEDDA, 6.063 g; a yield of 69%) was obtained in the form of pale yellow oil. Thus obtained compound was identified by the element analysis, the NMR spectrum, and the MS measurement. An element analysis value N % was obtained by a Perkin Elmer Model 2400CHN analysis apparatus. The NMR spectrum measurement was performed by an AC400P made by Bruker Japan Co. Ltd. The MS was performed by a JMS-700 manufactured by JEOL LTD.

EXAMPLE 2

The reaction was observed according to the following reaction formula.

A stirring bar and hydrazine-monohydrate (4.0 mL; 82 mmol: produced by Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) were placed in a three neck flask having a capacity of 200 mL. An inside of the flask was placed in an argon atmosphere. The flask was cooled down to a temperature of 0° C. Under this state, a mixed solution of 6-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)amino-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-dichloride (3.734 g; 10.11 mmol) and ethanol (50 mL) was dripped into the flask. After dripping thereof, the reaction solution was gradually heated up to a temperature of 50° C. Then, reaction was carried out at a temperature of 50° C. for two hours. A precipitated white solid resulting from the reaction was filtered with suction filtering. The white solid was refined by a column chromatography. This ensured obtainment of 6-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)amino-2,4-dihydrazinyl-1,3,5-triazine (DTEDH: 3.403 g; 9.44 mmol; a yield of 93%) in the form of colorless powder. When this compound was exposed to air, the compound absorbed carbon dioxide in the air to be precipitated. A result of the NMR analysis revealed that the compound was a target compound. The NMR data and the like were shown below.

¹H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d₆) d 0.53 (br t, J=8.0 Hz, 2H, CH₂CH ₂Si), 1.12 (t, J=6.9 Hz, 9H, SiOCH₂CH ₃), 1.50 (quint., J=8.0 Hz, 2H, CH₂CH ₂CH₂), 3.18 (br s, 2H, NCH ₂CH₂), 3.31 (br s, 4H, NHNH ₂), 3.72 (q, J=6.9 Hz, 6H, SiOCH ₂CH₃), 6.73 (br s, 1H, NHCH₂CH₂), 7.58 (br s, 2H, NHNH₂); ¹³C NMR (101 MHz, DMSO-d₆) d 7.3, 18.2, 22.8, 42.6, 57.6, 165.3, 187.4.

EXAMPLE 3

DTEDC was synthesized from cyanuric chloride (CC) and di(N,N′-triethoxylylpropyl)amine. Then, the DTEDC was reacted with ethylenediamine in the presence of ethanol and triethylamine (TEA). The reaction solution was filtered. Subsequently, the solvent and the unreacted ethylenediamine were distilled under depressurization of a range between 1 and 10 mmHg. The resulting solution was dissolved in methanol solution to be bleached using activated carbon. The bleached solution was condensed and, subsequently, refined by the silica gel column chromatography. The condensation thereof ensured obtainment of light-yellow syrup. The light-yellow syrup was found to be 2-(N,N′-di-3-triethoxysilylpropyl)amino-4,6-di(2-aminoethyl)amino-1,3,5-triazine (DTEDEA) from the element analysis data, the NMR spectrum, and the others.

EXAMPLE 4

DTEC was synthesized from cyanuric chloride (CC) and di(triethoxysilylpropyl)amine. Then, reaction was carried out between the DTEC and ethylenediamine in the presence of ethanol and triethylamine (TEA). The reaction solution was filtered. The solvent and the unreacted ethylenediamine were distilled under depressurization by 10 mmHg. This was dissolved in methanol solution to be bleached using activated carbon. The bleached solution was condensed to be refined by the silica gel column chromatography. Condensation thereof ensured obtainment of light-yellow syrup. The light-yellow syrup was found to be 2-(2-aminoethyl)amino-4,6-di(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)amino-1,3,5-triazine (DTEEA) from the element analysis data, the NMR spectrum, and the others.

EXAMPLE 5

A case where the surface treatment using the compound (TEDDA) of the example 1 was performed will be described below.

A substrate of a size of 10 mm×20 mm×0.1 mm was prepared. The substrate is any one of a Ti plate, a Mo plate, a Ni plate, a Cu plate, an Al plate, an Ag plate, a Pt plate, a Sn plate, a SUS316 plate, and a brass plate. In other words, prepared were 10 different kinds of substrates. Each of the substrates was subjected to degreasing by ultrasonic wave in ethanol at a temperature of 40° C. for 15 minutes. Thereafter, the substrate was rinsed by ethanol in order to clean up the surface thereof. After the cleaning, the substrate was dried in a vacuum desiccator.

The post-treatment substrate was immersed in solution containing TEDDA (0.1 wt %). After a lapse of 10 minutes, the substrate was taken out. Subsequently, the substrate was further adequately rinsed by distilled water. Then, the substrate was left in the desiccator at a temperature of 20° C. under vacuum (equal to or less than 0.1 Hg) for 24 hours.

After the above described treatment, the post-TEDDA-treatment substrate was subjected to the XPS analysis. An X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (manufactured by ULVAC-PHI, INCORPORATED: PHI-Quntera SXM Scanning X-ray Microprobe, an irradiation angle of 45°) was used for the XPS analysis.

Instead of the TEDDA, aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APS: AIS0610.0 produced by AZmax Co.) was employed to provide the same treatment to the substrate as a comparison example.

A result of the XPS analysis is shown in the following Table-1.

Table-1 shows the following facts. In the post-TEDDA-treatment substrate, concentration of metal and concentration of oxygen of the surface of the substrate decrease as well as concentration of nitrogen and concentration of silicon remarkably increase, as a whole, in comparison with the post-APS-treatment substrate. This shows that the TEDDA is tightly absorbed (bonded) to the surface of the substrate, whereas the APS is hardly absorbed (bonded) to the surface of the substrate. In this analysis, the irradiation angle of X rays is 45°, and thus elements existing up to a depth of about 7 nm from the uppermost surface are measured. A sufficient amount of metal atoms are observed in the analysis of the surface of the post-TEDDA-treatment substrate, which shows that a thickness of a TEDDA film is equal to or less than 7 nm. Since the XPS analysis is performed under the condition of 10⁻⁶ Pa or less, it is understood that the TEDDA is absorbed (bonded) to the substrate with a bonding force (a bonding force corresponding to the bonding force of the chemical bonding) higher than a normal intermolecular force.

EXAMPLE 6

A case where the surface treatment using the compound (TEDDA) of the Example 1 was performed will be described below.

A substrate of a size of 10 mm×10 mm×0.1 mm was prepared. The substrate is any one of an almina plate, a silicon carbide plate, an aluminum nitride plate, a zinc oxide plate, a carbon plate, a glass plate, a zirconia plate, a porcelain plate, a cement plate, and a plaster plate. In other words, prepared were 10 different kinds of substrates. Then, treatment identical to the treatment of the Example 5 was performed.

Instead of the TEDDA, aminopropyl triethoxy silane (APS) was employed to provide the similar treatment to the substrate as a comparison example.

A result of the XPS analysis is shown in the following Table-2.

Table-2 shows the following facts. In the post-TEDDA-treatment substrate, concentration of metal and concentration of oxygen of the surface decrease as well as concentration of nitrogen and concentration of silicon remarkably increase, as a whole, in comparison with the post-APS-treatment substrate (comparison example). Since the AlN plate is constituted of Al, and N and the SiC plate is constituted of Si and C, the above described trend is not remarkable. However, similar trend is seen. This shows that TEDDA is tightly absorbed (bonded) to the surface of the ceramic material. In this analysis, the irradiation angle of X rays is 45°, and, therefore, elements existing up to a depth of about 7 nm from the uppermost surface are measured. A sufficient amount of metal atoms is observed in the analysis of the surface of the post-TEDDA-treatment substrate, which shows that a thickness of the TEDDA film is equal to or less than 7 nm. Since the XPS analysis is performed under the condition of 10⁻⁶ Pa or less, it is understood that the TEDDA is absorbed (bonded) to the substrate with a bonding force (a bonding force corresponding to the bonding force of the chemical bonding) higher than a normal intermolecular force.

EXAMPLE 7

A case where the surface treatment using the compound (TEDDA) of the Example 1 was performed will be described below.

A substrate of a size of 10 mm×20 mm×0.2 mm was prepared. The substrate is any one of a polyethylene plate (PE: LD-PE: 07-127-01: produced by Hagitec Inc.), a polypropylene plate (PP: produced by KOKUGO CO., Ltd.: 07-175-04), a tetrafluoro ethylene plate (PTFE: NO. 903UL: produced by NITTO DENKO CORPORATION), a polyoxymethylene plate (POM: DURACON M25-44: produced by Polyplastics Co., Ltd.), a nylon plate (PA6: P07-142-04, produced by KOKUGO CO., Ltd.), a polyethylene-2,6-naphthalate plate (PEN: produced by Teijin DuPont Films Japan Limited: Teonex®), a polyethylene terephthalate plate (PET: produced by TORAYCON/TORAY INDUSTRIES INC.), a polyether ether ketone plate (PEEK: PEEK450G: produced by Yasojima Proceed Co., Ltd.), a polyphenylene sulphide plate (PPS: C-130SG: produced by Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd.), a polycarbonate plate (PC: 07-145-04: produced by KOKUGO CO., Ltd.), a polyimide plate (PI: Kapton, produced by DU PONT-TORAY CO., LTD.), and a urethane plate (UR: 07-007-01: produced by KOKUGO CO., Ltd.). Then, treatment identical to the treatment of the Example 5 was performed.

Instead of the TEDDA, aminoethyl aminopropyl triethoxy silane (AEPS, SIT8398.0 produced by AZmax Co.) was employed as a comparison example to provide the same treatment to the substrate.

A result of the XPS analysis is shown in the following Table-3.

Table-3 shows the following facts. In the post-TEDDA treatment substrate, concentration of carbon and concentration of oxygen of the surface decrease as well as concentration of nitrogen and concentration of silicon remarkably increase in comparison with the post-AEPS treatment substrate (comparison example). The concentration of nitrogen remarkably increases by the TEDDA treatment in every case except for a case of AP6 containing nitrogen. Since resin containing silicon is not used, in the present invention, silicon is contained in all the cases. The PTFE has only a little bonding amount but apparently has a considerably strong adhesive force. This shows that the TEDDA is tightly absorbed to the surface of the resin material. In this analysis, the irradiation angle of X rays of 45° enables measurement of elements existing up to a depth of about 7 nm from the uppermost surface. This reveals that a thickness of a film of the TEDDA is equal to or less than 7 nm. Since the XPS analysis is performed under the condition of 10⁻⁶ Pa or less, it is understood that the TEDDA is absorbed (bonded) to the substrate with a bonding force (a bonding force corresponding to the bonding force of the chemical bonding) higher than a normal intermolecular force.

EXAMPLE 8

A case where the surface treatment using the compound (TEDDA) of the Example 1 was performed will be described below.

Ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM, JSR-EP), a silicone rubber plate (Q: SH-851U: produced by Dow Corning Toray Co., Ltd.), styrene butadiene rubber (SBR: Nipol 1500: produced by Zeon Corporation), nitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR: DN300: produced by Zeon Corporation), and fluororubber (FKM: G-901: produced by DAIKIN INDUSTRIES, Ltd.) were prepared. The above mentioned materials were mixed with FEF black (produced by Tokyo Zairyo Co., Ltd.), DCP, and ZnO to be kneaded by a two-roll machine. As a result, un-crosslinked rubber sheets each having a thickness of 2 mm were obtained. These un-crosslinked rubber sheets were stacked to be placed in a die and pressurized by a vacuum heating apparatus (produced by Mikado Technos Co., Ltd.: Vacuum Boy VM01-1010VM) under pressure of 2 MPa at a temperature of 160° C. for 30 minutes. Accordingly, crosslinking was performed. As a result thereof, rubber substrates made of each material were obtained. Then, treatment identical to the treatment of the Example 5 was performed.

Instead of the TEDDA, aminoethyl aminopropyl triethoxysilane (AEPS, SIT8398.0 produced by AZmax Co.) was employed as a comparison example to provide the same treatment to the substrate.

A result of the XPS analysis is shown in the following Table-4.

Table-4 shows the following facts. In the crosslinked rubber materials, Q (crosslinking silicone rubber) contains silicon, and NBR contains nitrogen, respectively, as a component of the material. However, other rubbers do not contain silicon or nitrogen. Therefore, in the analysis of surfaces of the post-TEDDA-treatment substrate and the untreated substrate, it is understood that presence and increase of N and Si reveals presence of the TEDDA on the surface by reaction with (or tight absorption to) the cross-linked rubber. It is a surprise that the TEDDA is bonded (absorbed) to rubbers having surfaces of which molecular chains are perturbated.

EXAMPLE 9

A case where the surface treatment using the compound (TEDDA) of the Example 1 was performed will be described below.

The substrate is made of a composite material. In other words, fillers listed in Table-5 were blended with high polymerized materials such as Q, PE, SBR, PA6, and PPS. The blend of fillers with respect to Q and SBR was performed by a two-roll machine, and the blend of fillers with respect to PE and PA6 was performed by a kneader, respectively. Further, press molding was performed using a die at a temperature of a range between 120° C. and 180° C. for five minutes. As a result, a substrate of a size of 10 mm×20 mm×0.1 mm was obtained. Then, treatment identical to the treatment of the Example 5 was performed.

Instead of the TEDDA, aminoethyl aminopropyl triethoxysilane (AEPS, SIT 8398.0 produced by AZmax Co.) was employed as a comparison example to provide the same treatment to the substrate.

A result of the XPS analysis is shown in the following Table-5.

Table-5 shows the following facts. In the composite material, Q (crosslinked silicone rubber) contains Si as a constituting component, and NBR contains N as a constituting component, respectively. However, the others do not contain Si or N. Therefore, in the analysis of surfaces of the post-TEDDA-treatment composite material and the untreated composite material, presence and increase of N and Si reveal presence of the TEDDA on the surfaces of the composite materials by reaction (or tight absorption) therebetween.

EXAMPLE 10

The substrate of the Example 5d (post-TEDDA-treatment Cu plate), the substrate of the Example 5e (post-TEDDA-treatment Al plate), the substrate of the Example 5i (post-TEDDA-treatment SUS316 plate), the substrate of the Example 6f (post-TEDDA-treatment SiO₂ plate), the Pl plate that was subjected to the treatment identical to that of the Example 7 (Pl: kapton, produced by DU PONT-TORAY CO., LTD.), and the UR plate that was subjected to the treatment identical to that of the Example 7 (UR: 07-007-01: produced by KOKUGO CO., Ltd.) were prepared.

The Cu plate employed in the Example 5d, the PP plate employed in the Example 7b, and the Q plate employed in the Example 8b were prepared. No TEDDA treatment was provided thereto. The substrates were subjected to degreasing by ultrasonic wave (in ethanol at a temperature of 40° C. for 15 minutes). Then, the substrates were rinsed by ethanol. The substrates were further subjected to corona discharge treatment (using corona master produced by Shinko Electric & Measurement Co., Ltd., output voltage; 9 kV (surface voltage), oscillating frequency: 20 kHz, temperature: 20° C.).

The post-TEDDA-treatment substrate and the TEDDA-untreatment substrate were placed facing to each other having the TEDDA film therebetween. Then, the substrates were pressurized by 1 MPa at a temperature of 120° C. for 10 minutes.

A Pl plate (Pl: kapton, produced by DU PONT-TORAY CO., LTD.) that was subjected to the same treatment of the Example 7 and a substrate of the Example 5i (post-TEDDA-treatment SUS316 plate) were prepared.

The post-TEDDA-treatment SUS316 plate (substrate of the Example 5i) was coated with acryl urethane-based coating (U: Urecco Coat, produced by FUKUGOSHIZAI CO., LTED.). Then, the plate was subjected to hardening treatment (50° C.; 24 hours). Subsequently, similar to the Example 5i, a surface of an acrylurethan-based coated film was subjected to surface treatment with TEDDA solution.

The post-TEDDA-treatment substrate was immersed (temperature: 25° C., time: 1 minute) in a catalyst treatment solution (NP-8 produced by C. Uyemura & Co., Ltd.; 150 mL/L HCl; 150 mL/L). Accordingly, the substrate comes to carry a Pd—Sn catalyst on its surface. The substrate carrying the Pd—Sn catalyst thereon was immersed (temperature: 33° C., time: 20 minutes) in an electroless copper plating bath (THRU-CUP PSY-1A; 100 ml/L, THRU-CUP PSY-1B; 55 ml/L manufactured by C. Uyemura & Co., Ltd., formalin solution of 18.5%; 20 mL/L). Thereafter, the substrate was subjected to electroplating. The electroplating bath employed in the electroplating was any one of a THRU-CUP ETN bath (CuSO4.5H2O; 80 g/L H2SO4; 200 g/L Cl—; 50 ppm), a THRU-CUP ETN-1A bath (1 ml/L), and a THRU-CUP ETN-1B bath (10 ml/L) manufactured by C. Uyemura & Co., Ltd. The electroplating was performed at an electrical current of 2.5 A/dm2 for 60 minutes at a temperature of 25° C. Thus obtained Cu plating film had a thickness of 30 μm.

Instead of the TEDDA, an AEPS (produced by AZmax Co.) was employed as a comparison example to provide the same treatment to the substrate.

The following measurement was performed for a sample obtained by the present example. A result thereof is shown in Table-6. A debonding test apparatus (autograph P-100 manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation) was employed for measuring bonding strength (adhesion strength). A peeling rate at the time of measurement was 5 mm/min.

The Cu plate was subjected to the surface treatment identical to that of the Example 5.

The PP plate employed in the Example 7b was prepared. The PP plate was not subjected to treatment using compound α. The substrate was subjected to the degreasing by ultrasonic wave (in ethanol at a temperature of 40° C. for 15 minutes). Subsequently, the substrate was rinsed by ethanol. Further, the substrate was subjected to corona discharge treatment (corona master manufactured by Shinko Electric & Measurement Co., Ltd., output voltage; 9 kV (surface voltage), oscillating frequency: 20 kHz, temperature: 20° C.).

A post-treatment Cu substrate made of each of the above described compounds and a untreated PP substrate were placed facing to each other having each compound film placed therebetween. Then, the substrate was pressurized at 1 MPa at a temperature of 120° C. for 10 minutes.

A Pl plate (Pl: kapton, produced by DU PONT-TORAY CO., LTD.) was prepared. The TEDDA (Example 1), the TEDHDA (Example 12), the TEBTTA (Example 13), and the TEDDDA (Example 14) were employed to perform surface treatment identical to that of the Example 5.

The post-treatment substrate was immersed (temperature: 25° C., time: one minute) in a catalyst treatment solution (NP-8 produced by C. Uyemura & Co., Ltd.; 150 mL/L, HCl; 150 mL/L). Accordingly, the substrate comes to carry a Pd—Sn catalyst on its surface. The substrate carrying the Pd—Sn catalyst thereon was immersed (temperature: 33° C., time: 20 minutes) in an electroless copper plating bath (THRU-CUP PSY-1A; 100 ml/L, THRU-CUP PSY-1B; 55 ml/L each manufactured by C. Uyemura & Co., Ltd., formalin solution of 18.5%; 20 mL/L). Subsequently, the substrate was subjected to electroplating. The electroplating bath used in this electroplating was a THRU-CUP ETN bath (CuSO4.5H2O; 80 g/L, H2SO4; 200 g/L, Cl—; 50 ppm), a THRU-CUP ETN-1A bath (1 ml/L), or a THRU-CUP ETN-1B bath (10 ml/L) each manufactured by C.

Samples obtained in the present example were subjected to the following measurement and results thereof are shown in Table-7. A debonding test apparatus (autograph P-100 manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation) was employed for measurement of bonding strength (adhesion strength). A peeling rate at the time of measurement was 5 mm/min.

Table-7 shows that each sample according to the present invention has remarkably large bonding strength (adhesion strength).

The measurement was performed in a manner identical to that of the Example 1 except that the ethylenediamine (11 mL) was changed to ethylenediamine (7 mL). As a result, a mixture of monomer of TEDDA and dimer of TEDDA (see, the General Formula shown in the above described [0027]) was obtained. In other words, a mixture of monomer and dimer (a rate of mixture varied according to an amount of ethylenediamine) was obtained. It was not easy to isolate the dimer from the mixture. Surface treatment was performed by the mixture in a manner identical to that of the Example 5. A result of the surface treatment was close to the result of the surface treatment of the Example 5.

The surface treatment agent of the present invention is applicable to many kinds of substrates. That is, the surface treatment agent of the present invention has diversity.

The compound α coated on the surface of the substrate is rich in reactivity. It is possible to use the compound α in many fields with the use of the reactivity. For example, it is easy to provide a compound X capable of reacting with (absorbing to) the compound α on the substrate.
